Redesigning the Minnesota State Flag
.svg)
This project began with my desire to change our state flag. The current flag is problematic because it contains racist imagery, is nearly identical to half of the US state flags and because visually it is unappealing. I created a new flag after research into design principals and into emblematic images of Minnesota. In this new flag, the blue represents the lakes and rivers of Minnesota, the green represents the forests and nature, the white represents the cold and snow of the state, and the star is the state's motto, which is "L'Etoile du Nord" which is French for "the North Star"

I will get my pilots license, and give a presentation on the process.

I love the SPED services, the project-based learning is awesome, I love how invested the teachers are, and the diversity of the community
Families
I love the small size and the limited amount of stressful transitions year-to-year (keeping the same advisor throughout middle school, high school; being in the same building for 6-12). I love that both of our children have the opportunity to explore their interests and to love learning again. Most of all, I love that both of my children are seen and valued for who they are and are treated as whole complex people.
Families
There is an incredibly supportive environment from both the fellow students and teachers
Families
I love the relationships I get to build with students and families over time - it is so rewarding to see such growth!
